Judicial Outrage in England.

The latest case of judicial outrage
I do not believe could have happened
in any town in the United States.
This occurred at lexington. The
criminal in the case was 6-year-old
baby boy. He was accused of hav-
ing stolen a watch. The boy said he
found the watch. The mother re-
stored it promptly to the owner. The
baby might have been given the ben
eft of the doubt at least. The owner
good, virtuous Pharisee-complain-
ed. The police executed the warrant
in the middle of the night. The little
lad was dragged out of bed between
1 and 2o'clock in the morning. Think
of that He was locked up until the
next morning. Then the magistrate
ordered that he should be birched.
This was done with such cruelty that
the little mans body was cut open in
six places. reaching around his back
on to his stomach. Think of the
devilish cruelty of this punishment
and of such little fellow! L am
told the queen reads no paper but
The Morning Post. AS no mention
of this case has ever been printed in
that paper l presume that she will
not hear of it. The home secretary
is supposed to be investigating the
case, but you may be sure nothing
will come of TT c. Crawford in

The following are prominent
planks in the Republican platform
adopted by the late Pennsylvania
State Convention
We favor tariff for the sake of nur-
turing American manufactures until
the industries of this country furnish
its people with every item of con-
sumption they can naturally produce
and for the purpose of protecting
home labor against foreign labor as
we'll as its products. 1t is likewise
the part of that protective policy, of
which Pennsylvania has been the
parent, to protect American work.
men from the unequal and unjust
competition of imported contract and
pauper labor, and we demand the
passage of more vigorous national
laws for the security of immigration
and the return of the unfit and un-
worthy. In this connection we de-
clare our abnorrance of anarchistic
ideas and propositions destructive of
the rights of property and our sys-
tenn of society and government.
Their resultant violations of the law
should be vested with promt and ex-
treme penalties.
The soldiers of the Union are
worthy of the lasting gratitude and
continued favor of restored govern
ment, and the surplus in the treasury
cannot better be distributed than in
the enlargement of the general pen
sion list, so as to include all honor
ably discharged soldiers of the I'm.
ion.
We arraign the Democratic party
and the present national administra-
ton for the general inbecility in deal
ing with all great national questions.
The only energy they have exhibited
has been in the displacement of ex-
perienced officers without cause and
in direct violation of their civil SER
vice pledges.
The national administration seems
to have.no policy beyond expedien-
cy. and no principle beyond the es-
adjustment of its succession. In
order to preserve a solid Democratic
South Cleveland has endeavored to
nurture sectionalism by the prefer
ence to distinguished station of SOL
diers prominent in effort to destroy
the government, by his refusal to
sanction pensions to soldiers eminent
in efforts to sustain it, and by his
proposition to take from among the
national trophies the banners of an
extinct military power, won by the
lavish expenditure of the blood and
treasure of the country. to surrender
them to those whom he supposed to
inherit its prejudices. and who were
without either desire or authority to
receive them,

The Eastern papers call the con-
vention of the united labor party,
which met the other day at SYRIA
cuse. "the Henry George conyen-
tion." He controlled the entire move
ment, and in the effort of the social
lists to obtain seats in the convention,
it was he who sprang to the front
when the united labor delegates were
hesitating about admitting them, and
succeeded, with the assistance of DR..
McGlynn, in having the demand re-.
jected. The socialists withdrew in
Indignation. They claimed that Mr..
George stole their thunder, that they
were the first to organize in opposi-
ton to both of the leading political
parties, and quoted extracts from Mr..
Georges speeches to show that he
then posed as a socialist himself.
They also claim that he owed to
them the larger part of the vote he
gained in New York last fall. and
that they thus gave him the greater
part of the prominence he has since
acquired. AS they have been read
out of the united labor party, to
which they insist they legitimately
belong. they promise to make it hot
for him, now that he has been put
upon that party's ticket for Secretary
of State at the election this fall.

Business Barometer.


NEW YORK. August 10. r. G.. Dun
& Co.'s weekly trade review has the
following points: Everything now
turns on crop prospects. Consider
able injury is no longer disputed. IN
deed, its effects are already felt In
diminishing demand from regions
most affected by the drouth for some
manufactured products. But esti-
mates of the extent of harm done
differ widely. Chicago and Detroit
adyices indicate that the rains were
too late to save considerable por.
ton of the corn crop. but after de-
clining 13c on growing imposition
that the injury would not prove so
extensive as to the balance of the in.
crease in acreage. the price rose as
much as on the reports of injury by
frost on Thursday. The latest gov
eminent reports point to a probable
yield slightly less than that of last
year. Wheat rose half cent on
Wednesday but lost in the advance.
The injury to this crop does not ap.
pear important and official figures
point to yield exceeding 100000
900 bushels. which, with stocks car.
ried over, would meet all probable
requirements.
What may prove the most serious
effect of the long drouth-the injury
to pastures and the hay crop, and
consequent losses In dairy and ami
NAL products-is often overlooked,
But the movement of grain from the
North is remarkably large. though
lake transporters get the lions share
of it. Buffalo July receipts by lake
have never been exceeded but once.
while the latest report of east-bound
rail shipments from Chicago Is the
smallest for many years. While rail-
roads continue to report large earn
ings, 10S roads showing a net gain of
IT per cent for July over last year,
the weakness in securities operates to
prevent sales for extensions and new
roads, and thus affects the demand
for rails and iron. At Philadelphia
rails seem weaker and a sale of 5000
tons to Southern road at a price
equivalent to $37 is noted.
Pig iron is also shaded and il ia adj
mitted that the supply seems to ex-
coed the demand. The monetary
situation has one favorable feature.
Stringency increases at several inter-
ior points, and reports Of unsatisfac.
tory or 'only fair" collections grow
more numerous. But the purchase
of bonds by the Treasury, the ship
ments of gold from Europe and the
sales of securities abroad by Mr..
Gould and by some German houses
here, appear to avert the pressure in
this market for the present.

MIR. Brumm Talks on Politics.

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-Con-
gresham Brumm, the Greenback-
Republican from Pennsylvania, was
here to-day looking after the postal
affairs in the thirteenth districts. He
was not incliued to discuss freely the
results of the Republican convention
held in Harrisburg, Pa, yesterday,
because, he said, it was too early, and
he had not had the time to consider
the proceedings of the convention
nor review its work. He says the
Republicans of Pennsylvania are as
enthusiastic in their admiration and
support of Blaine now as they were
in the last campaign. and he will
certainly be the first choice of the
Pennsylvania delegates to the next
national convention. The Republi-
can party. he says, will not want for
issues upon which to run their next
campaign, as the present administra-
ton has furnished them an abund-
ance of ammunition. He says the
Democratic party rushed into power
with the cry of Turn the rascals out.
and we will reform the tariff. reduce
the surplus and give the country a
model administration" None of
these pledges, he says, have been re-
deemed, and the Republicans will
demonstrate that fact to the people
when the proper time arrives. In
reply to the question, ibid not the
Republicans when in power make
similar pledges. and would they do
any better should Blaine be elected ?"
Mr.. Brumm said that was not the
issue. The fighting point in the next
campaign would be, "Have the Dem.
ocrats fulfilled their promise to the
country? He says Mr.. Blaine's
friends do not look with fear upon
the outcome of another defensive
campaign on the contrary, they be-
lieve him to be stronger in 1888 than
he was in 1884. There were thous-

A Startling Prediction.

Two hundred years ago in China
there was just such craze about nat.
ural gas as we have in this country
to-day. Gas wells were sunk with
as much vim and vigor as the celes-
tails were capable of, but owing to a
gas explosion that killed several mill
lions of people and tore up and de.
stroyed large district of country,
leaving a large inland sea, known on
the map as Lake Foo Chang, the bor-
ing of any more gas wells was then
and there prohibited by law. 1t
seems, according to the Chinese his
tory, that many large and heavy
pressure gas wells were struck, and
in some districts wells were sunk
quite near to each other. Gas was
lighted as soon as struck, as is done
in this country. 1t is stated that one
well, with its unusual pressure, by
induction or back draught, pulled

of smaller we'll, resulting in a
dreadful explosion of large district.
destroying the inhabitants thereof.
Lake Foo Chang rests on this dis
trict. The same catastrophe is imi-
nent in this country, unless the laws
restrict further deyelovements in bor-
ing so many wells. Should a similar
explosion occur there will be such an
upheayal as will dwarf the most ter.
rible earthquakes ever known, The
country along the gas belt from Toll
edo through Ohio, Indiana and Ken
tucy will be ripped up to the depth
of 200 to l 500 feet and Topped over

of his followers, nor has their love for
him grown any less strong. He will
be warmly welcomed on his every
appearance during his stay here. He
comes early in order to see and take
part In all that's going on, and his
intention is to STAY till the last salute
is fired and the bugles sound the close
of the big reunion of '87.
General Kelly, besides being dis
tinguished for his bravery and abil-
ity on the field, enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the first officer in the

The river Fuerte on the West
coast of Mexico, on whose banks at
present the Topolobampo colonists
are working in the sweat of their
brow to found the modern Utopia,
is an old historical ground. Here
1T was, where one of the first ex-
ploring expeditions of the conquer
er of Mexico met their derlerable
fate. In 1882 Certes dispatched
two vessels from Zacatula under
Hurtado Mendoza, his cousin, and
Mazuela Their object was moth
ing less than to reach Asia, with
which the West coast of America
was believed to be connected In
the far North. The vessels landed
at Santiago, discovered the Tres
Marias, and after a long storm
anchored at an unknown point on
the coast. Provisions becoming
nearly exhausted, the men became
mutinous. and half the force started
to return with one vessel, which
was driven ashore at Banderas Bay.
Here the natives killed the explor-
ers with the exception of two or
three who escaped to Colima. Hur-
tado, with the loyal part of the ex-
petition, resumed his Northward
voyage and finally reached the
mouth of the Fuerte of Tamotch-
ala. None of them should leave it
again. The inhabitants followed
the example of the BaudeIas ma
tives and slaughtered the Spaniards
to the last man.-From Bancroft's

1t was a mistake to beat the bill
which prevents strikers from i'm
portuning candidates for money.
1t was another mistake to beat the
bill which provided fer the build
ing of board enclosure at the polls
so that voter might cast his ballot
in perfect secrecy. No man can
urge any objection against the abb
solute secrecy Of voting. Doubtless
some half crazy economist started
the idea that the erection of such
an enclosure would cost SO, and
this being an economy and reform
year, the money must be saved
The chances are that if anybody
started such an idea lot of other
noodles picked it up at once.
